Snack Shack (2024)
Kids, this is what a "Movie" is
No "box-checking," no propaganda, no agenda, and no studio execs poisoning the vision.
Just writer (AND director) putting his blood and guts into telling a good, entertaining, and impactful story.
Also, no hand-holding or dumbing down.
Nothing is forced, and the dialogue actually sounds like the characters (as opposed to every character sounding like their 20 yr old, silver-spoon, nepo-baby writer that has no life experience, like so many "films" now).
The actors take it to the next level, and it really amplifies the experience.
And very true to the time. Gonna hit extra hard for the 90's gen.
A rare gem.
The Gentlemen (2024)
Falls off cliff in E03
After the first two episodes, I thought this might be the best series I have ever seen.
I thought this was going to be a serious show with serious stakes.
Then, in episode 3, it turns into a joke.
Writers find a STUPID excuse to steal a car.
It has nothing to do with anything, and their justification is garbage.
So then the show turns into "Gone in 60 Seconds."
Then the brother's car conveniently doesn't start, so he becomes a hostage.
So lazy and unintelligent.
I had written this review before the credits, and, surprise surprise, it's the first episode not written by Ritchie.
My enthusiasm for the show has now also fallen off a cliff. I will update if I come back to it.
